Locating sub-folders by search function

Over many years I have built up an extensive folder structure in TB for archiving my emails. After a while one looses oversight over the folder structure, and one creates a new sub-folder with the same name as an already existing one in a different position in the structure. Is there a search function in TB that I can use to find sub-folders by name (with or without wild cards in the search pattern) and list the result showing the complete folder path?

I think the closest you can achieve this in TB 78 is with Quick Folder Move.
